Colts' Offseason Moves, Draft Picks

0:00On April 7th, the Indianapolis Colts made some big swings this off-season to rebuild after last season's collapse from that brutal Daniel Jones injury. They locked him up with a two-year 88 million dollar deal and handed Alec Pierce a massive four-year 116 million dollar. Extension. They also brought back Arden Key on a two-year pact and added Michael Clemens for three years, beefing up that defensive line on the cheap. Earlier this week, General Manager Chris Ballard hinted they're not done wheeling and dealing, especially with just the handful of draft picks early. On 2nd round pick 47, 3rd round 78, 4th round 113, and a few later ones, he loves trading for more ammo, so expect them to get aggressive and fill gaps. Fans are buzzing about how these moves could flip the script, but the linebacker group looks green, the edge rush needs pop, and the wide receivers. Beyond Pierce are thin, that injury to Jones crushed playoff hopes last year, so Indy's all in on depth to avoid another meltdown.

1:02Now, eyes are on prime targets, like Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr., a rising star who could slide to the 2nd round and anchor that defense. Tennessee's Joshua Joseph's brings that long, nasty edge presence for a late 3rd round steal, and Yukon's Skyler Bell fits as a quick slot guy too, pair with Pierce. With ballerplotting trades, the Colts could turn these needs into strengths, come draft night, setting up a real shot at contending if Jones stays healthy.
